  • ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR UPDATING BIOS THEREOF
    Publication number: 20100030991
    Abstract: This invention discloses a method for updating a basic input/output system (BIOS). The BIOS is stored in a memory of an electronic device. An embedded controller (EC) is electrically connected to the memory and a processor. The processor is electrically connected to the memory and executes the BIOS. The method for updating the BIOS includes the following steps. First, a write instruction is sent to the EC. Afterward, the EC receives the write instruction and sends a system management interrupt (SMI) to the processor. Then, the processor receives the SMI and sends an identification code to the EC. Then, the EC receives the identification code and determines whether the identification code matches a security code. If the identification code matches the security code, the EC allows the memory to be writable to update the BIOS.
